Everyone bags David King during the season so I'm sure they'll do the same here......

    Oliver is a level above them both.    Baffling how he only got 13 Brownlow vote, and he didnt poll too well the season before either.

    This despite being at the coalface, getting 30 damaging touches a game and doing things few players have ever been able to do with his hands and creativity.

    The umpires notice kicking more than handballing.  When Clarry starts to do more damage on the outside and kick more he will get more Brownlow votes.  So many demonlanders harp on about us having no outside pace, but it could be staring everyone in the face.  Clarry was one of the quickest at his draft combine, and if he can get more outside ball (maybe mix up inside and outside if Viney plays a full season), then he will be seen as a true superstar and win a Brownlow.  Think how Brayshaw, Martin etc kick a lot more and attract the umpires attention.

    Oliver is a combination of the other two.

    I've said for years now that he and Cripps will be the best two midfielders in the league.

    Cripps has the physicality but Oliver has more skill.

    Skill and innate footy nous. Nearly always makes the right decision, if he doesn’t hit the target outright, he puts the ball in the right area to his teammates outright advantage. Just a beautiful thing to watch.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
